[ He nods a little bit in return, acknowledging the boy's words. ]

Right. I had the same idea, actually. [ And Daniel knows that not everyone does. After all, he spoke to someone who seemed convinced that there had been people before who are now gone - but it doesn't feel like that to him at all.

Maybe it's since Daniel is so normal, and he can't imagine an entire city's worth of people just.. vanishing. ]

Like this place was built for us.

[ Even if he has no idea what that means. ]

And it seems that the people who show up here come from.. a very big variety of places. [ He settles on after that tiny pause in the middle, feeling like this is the most diplomatic wording. ] I am sure this will sound strange, but I have met people who seem to have some sort of special powers.

[ Yeah, Kaneki.

Clearly totally unbelievable for you, right.

At least it says something about what Daniel is assuming Kaneki is like here - it's hard for him to think of any kid as anything but totally normal, apparently even when they show up with blood all over their shirt here. ]
